His staffers have committed fraud & have also apparently committed forgery.

The Democrats have no appetite to indict the GOP
The Social Democrats do. It's part of their plank.
Okay so saying it won't happen is helping because... If we're already giving up now, at least we won't be disappointed then...? Doomerism is not helpful.

It's tough to try to indict the GOP when the majority of american voters decided they don't care and voted the ringleader back into the White House...
Its gotta be easy to run against the worst people possible. The ads write themselves. If you want to win of course.
Maybe thats why democrats didnt want to prosecute Trump. Gotta get one more election in with the big bad guy. Plus you can genocide whoever you want and break union strikes. What are they gonna do, let trump win? I wonder who will be the bad cop after Trump croaks.

He died how he lived. Subverting democracy.
Does anyone remember when Biden stepped down and Republicans were real mad that the democrats were "hiding" his decline?
WHERE’S GEORGE CLOONEY TO SAVE US?!
Term limits wouldn't have prevented this scenario, but they would mitigate the damage any one politician can do. Term limits would greatly reduce the opportunity for a corrupt politician to become entrenched.
We need term limits for Congress.
I understand the appeal of term limits, but I don't think they actually solve the problem. If politicians know they only have 2 terms then they are encouraged to play nice with industry contacts since they know they'll be out of a job soon. Additionally, I think there's something to be said about knowing your constituents and the inner workings of politics. A lot of political projects take a long time to realize and if people like the plan their politician has I don't see why we'd force them out. Consistent leadership can be very helpful for long term political goals. I don't think corrupt companies would care who they're bribing that year. They're just as happy to bribe one person for 40 years as 10 people for 4. If you get a good rep then it's nice to know that you don't have to worry about vetting a new one every time the limits come up.
The problem with what you’re saying is that your idea of a good representative isn’t everybody’s idea of a good representative.

Term limits just push things to the unelected "advisors" and aids.
An age limit would be a better option. I would push for 90% of life expectancy, which is 71 in the US. If you're over that age, you can't run again.
I'd set it at the retirement age. Nobody over 65. Go spend time with your families ffs.
What was that? Retirement age is now 100?
👍 Which is why I didn't say retirement age, it can be gamed. Life expectancy can be gamed too, but I would call it acceptable if they managed to raise it significantly.

Is he dead yet?
Not officially
The only thing that's surprising is that they didn't immediately on the stroke of midnight submit a press release of his passing, given the suggestion that he needed to make it to August 3rd in order to avoid any chance of the governor appointing his replacement. I wouldn't have bet my own life on it, but I was halfway expecting to wake up this morning to the news of his passing.

Mitch got smarter when his brain died. I hope he is getting bed sores.
Dont worry, the DNC is ON IT. Schumer hasnt written a strongly worded memo on it yet, but I think he's considering it. I know that other than Beshear muttering some weak objections and not following through, the DNC has done and said nothing at all about it, but uh.. yeah vote blue no matter who.

Democracy is having more then two options to choose from. If the two party system is so great and everyone is fully reoresented, the blue and red conservatives shouldn't mind replacing First-past-the-post voting with something that let's people transfer their vote if their first pick doesn't win.
But I guess wanting to able to vote how I want is a purity test... and we dont do that here right?

I'm going to come out here and say he's not dead, just effectively dead. Like on life-support and little to no chance of recovery, but I think they'll hold on to that as an excuse... "He's going to get better"... Yeah no way bruv

Bring out your dead!
Republicans don't want democracy, they want whatever puts their beliefs first and cheating is not out of the question.
Can someone explain to me what the upside for the republicans is in this game?
Mitch has a very safe seat and his replacement would probably be a dependable Republican vote. Now he can’t vote, can he?
There isn't an upside. They're just as stuck as the Democrats are. Mitch isn't dead, he's likely severely incapacitated. They'd love to have him on the Senate floor voting R but he isn't healthy enough to do so, and the only way to remove a Senator is expulsion by a two-thirds vote in the Senate. That certainly wouldn't get enough votes and, at this point, is pretty irrelevant anyway since the seat would simply remain vacant.
But you are correct that as long as he's ill he isn't voting, which is a good thing, which is why there was really no need for people to be all over Andy Beshear's nuts this past month.
If they dragged Strom Thurmond’s barely animated husk in to vote, they can wheel Mitch in to pretend like he knows what he’s doing.

In order to get the war powers resolution to fail, Fetterman had to vote with them. If Mitch were declared dead, a special election would have had to have been held and anyone could have run in it. ~~Tommy Tuberville~~ Thomas Massie would have run, split the Republican vote and a Democrat could/would have taken the seat and that resolution would not have failed. Let's not pretend the Republicans aren't engaging in fraud on purpose. They are. They know precisely what they are doing and they need to be held accountable. But they're on a very long list in that regard.
I think that anybody but a Republican winning that special election was always a pipe dream.

I heard there was also a quirk of electing a replacement. Prior to August 3rd, it would have been a new election. While republicans would normally win, they have an issue with their primary. The other republican could have run and split the vote. This could have let a democrat sneak in for 6 months.

Through all of this I am reminded of at least one silver lining: At the end of the day, we won't have Mitch.
Of course they'll get away with it, with complicit controlled opposition
Actually he can continue his weekend at Bernie’s gig as long as they want, right now the senate looses his vote. He will 1000% be replaced another shitty republican, so this is the best solution for now.
It's not in any way guaranteed that KY will elect another Republican. It's a state-wide seat in a state that elected a Democratic Governor.
But for the moment, yes, Mitch being so obviously dead does hurt Republicans more.
The reason that are not admitting he's dead is because they don't think they could win a special election. That's the full reason.
They probably can't win in the general election in the current climate either, but that's a problem for November that Trump is working on. He's trying to steal the election, and that's what Republicans are pinning their hopes on.
